Hi Icebreaker, there are a variety of bow thrusters available,check Cornwall model boats or Westbourne to name but a few. They come in all sizes & price ranges. He will need to connect it to his transmitter to make it function, I would have him contact Dave @ ACTion electronics & he will advise him what he will need to make it operational, Dave might do him a wiring diagram as well. Also do as the guys have suggested search the forum for ideas on how to install it in his boat. Mick B.PS= It takes a bit of nerve to cut the two holes through the hull for the outlets.
